Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[dbking82]

it's for track use only, so hanging outside isn't an issue.

How much work required to fit 18x10+38 Work XD9s to the rear of a 32 GTSt?

Ive seen some older pictures on this forum of a guy running them but dont know how much drama there is involved fitting them up, pics dont look like theres much camber or poke..

Car is just gonna be used as a weekend toy (or even a couple times a month) so my care factor for legality is exactly zero.

No drama.

They will sit just on flush, or just slightly outside the guard, depending on camber. Mild roll and either 235/40R18 or 265/35R18 will fit fine.

Sooo many posts and couldn't find what I was looking for without dying...

Looking at putting Lenso D1Rs on my R33 gtst. What would be the best size and offset with out too much guard work (Rolled guards at the most)? Prefer 18inch wheels and must be able to hold 300rwkw decently.

Cheers

What sizes in D1R you considering? Can get 18x10 with 265s on the back with only a roll if +35 or close to it.

[KerrodR33]

Probably 8.5 front and 9.5 rear would be my preference

[M@&k]

What offsets do the 9.5s come in? Might as well go 9.5 all around.

Buying a set of wheels for autocross in the US, looking based solely on what tires I can fit and offset etc not looks because of this.

It's a R32 GTS-t, I want to fit 235/45/17 in front and 255/45/17 in rear. If it can be done without rolling fenders it would be a bonus, but i'm not against doing that.

Most of the people fitting tires like that seem to have LMGT2 (+35 front +38 rear on 17x8/x17x9) and fit 255/40 in rear and i'm looking to see if there is an offset that would be better.

Trying to fit max tire within reason for this. Not looking to pull fenders or modify them aside from rolling.

That's pretty much it really. You can move the wheels out a bit with some spacers, but +35 front and ~+38 rear should suffice.

Look up some pictures of cars with GT-R wheels (9" +30) and see how you like the fit.

Hey gots i just recently bought a set if rims for my r33 gtst they are 17x9 +35 allround now the rears fit perfectly but the fronts Rub on the control arm what and it was recomended that these rims would fit anyone know if these rims should fit the front ?? Thanks

[niZmO_Man]

Well if it's hitting suspension, you'll have to space out the wheel.

[Reeno]

Its hitting the upright control arm and i dont really want to use spacers because i want to go to track days etc .

Is there anything else i can do or anything i can buy eg r33 gtr uprights?? Thanks for any help

[niZmO_Man]

Best move: Sell your wheels and buy something that fits.

Maybe look for someone to swap the front pair? Or buy another pair and use the current front pair as spares.

[alr33x]

What tyres you runnin?

[Reeno]

Mm i dont know anyone that has the same wheels im trying to get thebguy i bought them off to swap them as he pretty much said they would fit

Tyres are 255/40/17

Strange... The 34 is similar in the front as far as i know and i run a 18x9 +30 with a 265 tyre and it clears...

[alr33x]

Try a smaller tyre, how bad is it rubbing? Only just or full slamming into it undriveable?

[Adz2332]

Has anyone tried to fit old school convos and drag slicks plus little front runners to skylines?

Im trying to work out what sizes i need and how it would clear the brakes etc on my 33 gtst

[niZmO_Man]

Run a 3-5mm slip on hub-centric spacer?

5mm can make a difference

[34GeeTeeTee]

5mm can make a difference

That's what she said

I figured the extra tyre would make up for the offset though lol
